Last week you told me our love was going south
So I tried to follow it,
I tried to track it down
Thought I caught wind of it,
outside of San Antonio
But it was just a ghost,
so I kept right on going
I drove and told myself, you wouldn't lie to me
Tears of confusion fell,
and I wiped them on my sleeve
Two tanks of gas and a floorboard full of coffee cups
I finally hit the border,
and Mexico was all there was
As I crossed that river,
the sun was setting But I started seeing the light
I walked those streets and I talked to
myself And I decided I would be alright
I drank some tequila, I said, who needs ya?
I don't have to do this alone
Me and Mexico are letting you go
I bought a big sombrero,
and it made me laugh Funny,
I don't think we were ever happy like that
Country full of strangers,
a thousand miles from home The first time
in a long time that I haven't felt alone
A band of mariachis was playing to the
crowd I couldn't understand the words,
but I sang right out loud
Here in this border town,
that's where your memory lays And when I head back home,
here's where it's gonna stay
As I crossed that river,
the sun was setting But I started seeing the light
I walked those streets and I talked to
myself And I decided I would be alright
I drank some tequila, I said, who needs ya?
I don't have to do this alone
Me and Mexico are letting you go
I drank some tequila,
I said, who needs ya?
I don't have to do this alone
Me and Mexico are
letting you go
Me and Mexico are letting you go
